EGG BEATING DEVICE Edward M. Morgan, Westmount, Quebec, Canada Application February 2, 1946, Serial No. 645,024

1 Claim. 1

This invention relates to egg beating and cream whipping devices of the multiple dasher type.

The salient feature of the invention consists in the provision of a beater comprising interfitting dasher coils and means for effecting unidirectional movement of the dasher coils in orbital paths predetermined so that the coils move into and out of coplanar relationship with each other during their orbital travel.

Other features of this invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description of th preferred embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a perspective View of my improved device; and Fig. 2 is a side elevational View of the machine shown in Fig. 1.

As illustrated in the drawings, a frame '5 is provided with a handle 6 at its upper end and supporting feet 1 at its lower extremities. A power gear 8 provided with a crank 9 is rotatably mounted on a shaft l carried by a plate I I attached to frame '5. A plate 12 attached to frame above plate H carries a shaft I3 on which is mounted a pinion H3 in mesh with power gear 8. A crank arm I 5 having one end secured to pinion I4 is provided at its other end with a pin iii. A pair of dasher rods [7 and I8 have their upper ends pivotally secured to pin l6 by means of the pin-encircling eyes I 9 and 20. The lower ends of said rods I! and iii are formed to provide interfitting dasher coils 2i and 22. Fulcrum plates 23 and 24 carried by a bar 30 attached to frame 5 are located at different distances below the pinion l4, the lower plate 24 protruding beyond plate 23. Plate 23 is provided with an opening 25 in which the intermediate portion of rod I1 is slidably fitted for fulcrum engagement with said plate. Plate .24 is provided with an opening 26 adjacent its outer edge in which the intermediate portion of rod [8 is slidably fitted for fulcrum engagement with said plate. Plate 24 is also provided with an elongated slot 21 in which rod I1 is free to swing. A plate 28 extending upwardly from the bar 30 acts as a guide member for power gear 8.

As power gear 8 is turned it engages pinion I4 and rotates crank arm l5 so that the upper ends of rods I1 and H; are caused to travel in the same circular path about the fixed axis of pinion I l. The intermediate portions of rods I! and I8 fulcrum On fulcrum members 23 and 24 respectively to provide for unidirectional orbital movement of dasher coils 2i and 22 in response to the circular motion. of the upper ends of dasher rods H and I8. Since the fulcrum member 23 is located at a point closer to the said axis than the fulcrum member 24, the dasher coil 2| will describe a wider orbital path than the dasher coil 22.

With the upper ends of dasher rods ll and I8 travelling in the same circular path about a fixed axis, and the intermediate portions of said rods having sliding fulcrum engagement with fulcrum members .23 and 24 located at different distances below said axis, the interfitting dasher coils 2i and 22 will have unidirectional movement in orbital paths predetermined so that the said dasher coils will move into and out of coplanar relationship with each other during their orbital travel. The beating action of each dasher coil simulates the beating action of the ordinary fork. This motion of the dasher coils maintains a constant flow in the one direction and prevents a flattening out of the beaten eggs or cream. l

I claim:

An egg beating device comprising a frame, a crank arm mounted on the frame to revolve about a fixed axis, means for revolving said crank arm, a pair of dasher rods having their upper ends attached to said crank arm to travel therewith in a circular path about said fixed axis and having their lower ends formed to provide interfitting dasher coils, a fulcrum plate attached to said frame, having an opening through which an intermediate portion of one rod is slidable in fulcrum engagement with said plate and an elongated slot in which'the other rod is free to swing, and a second fulcrum plate attached to said frame having an opening through which the last mentioned rod is slidable in fulcrum engagement with said second plate.
